Syrp, a New Zealand-based company that builds film equipment, has started a Kickstarter project for a product they’ve dubbed the Genie. This isn’t the kind you find trapped in a magic lamp, however, instead it’s a portable time lapse device.

The Genie mounted on a skateboard.

The Genie is a “simple, affordable and extremely easy to use device” for shooting time lapse videos — an all-in-one pice of photo equipment that merges image-capture with motion-control.

Here are some of the key features of the Genie:

Panning and Linear Modes

Compatibility with Existing Rigs

User Presets

Preview Mode

Sensors

Mobile App for Android Devices (iPhone App coming soon)

If you’re into time lapse photography, you can grab the Genie for a minimum pledge of $590. As of this writing, the project is already more than halfway of their desired $150,000 funding.
